The Dynamo (Kiev) - Brugge match turned out to be far from spectacular. The Kievans showed practically nothing in the attack. Yes, there were moments, but they can only be called dangerous at a stretch. How did the meeting go? What to expect from the return game?
Main aspects of the meeting
From the first minutes of the match, the Belgian club players tried to dominate the field. They played number one. But, such activity did not lead to anything. Gradually, the game becomes almost equal. Yes, Dynamo decided not to build combinations, but to play like a child. Throws from the middle of the field towards the opponent's goal. You yourself understand that such tactics rarely bring results.
Yes, in the 20th minute of the meeting, we saw a strong blow to the goal of Bruges. But this shot was blocked.
After 10 minutes, the Belgians had a moment. A blow to the turn of the gate of Buschan is recorded. But here the people of Kiev were lucky. The referee fixes the vein of the game. On the 34th minute Buyalsky punches his head. The ball flies over the bar. After 10 minutes, Vitaly repeats his trick. But this time over the crossbar. This despite the fact that the collar of Bruges confidently controlled the flight of the ball.
The first half was without an assist. The beginning of the second half did not change the game pattern. The only thing that became noticeable was the intensification of the game performed by the players of Bruges. It is important to note that the defense coped with all the attacks of the Kievites. The Dynamo player was not given the time and space to make a decision and create a combination. The more surprising was the situation that developed at the 62nd minute. Vitaly Mikolenko passes the ball to Buyalsky. The latter does not play with his head, but closes the pass with a bypass kick. Dynamo opens an account.
But alas, the people of Kiev could not keep the account they needed. Already on 67 minutes, with a header, Brandon Mechele scores. He closed the transmission for Ore Wormer. The score becomes: 1 - 1.
Here's another oddity. Dynamo players did not want to go on the attack. In response, in the 83rd minute they got a dangerous moment at their goal. The Bruges players take a corner. Discount and headbutt. Yes, the ball flew over the bar. But the moment is fixed.
The last minutes of the meeting were remembered by the fact that Vitaly Mykolenko kicked the Bruges player and received his due yellow card for this action.
What to expect from the return game?
Even M. Lucchesco admitted that a goalless draw would be preferable for Dynamo. Now the people of Kiev will need to score. Moreover, without fail. Zero draw does not suit them. But what matters is that they must not be missed. As the game showed, Belgian Brugge has more chances of reaching the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. I would not be surprised if the bookmakers offer the minimum odds for winning Bruges. Already now privateers are starting to bet on Brugge reaching the 1/8 finals.
